“Does that mean Oliver specifically, or...?” Brandy asked aloud, unsure how to interpret the answer.

"It did put quite a bit of emphasis on the word 'You', so... I suppose so?" Oliver shrugged, a bit perturbed.

As everyone is "enjoying" the festivities, Daniel hears a sickly bubbling noise, like boiling molasses. He turns to look down the street. There, creeping its way across the tarmac, is what looks to be pitch flooding out from somewhere. It creeps closer and closer and the group can hear that those plopping noises are coming from it, whatever it is.

The pitch splits and heads two different ways, avoiding the group where they stand. They watch as the thick tendrils of the puddle begin to crawl up the sides of the food carts. Daniel watches as the goo begins to wrap around the meatballs on the cart and each one gets sucked into the goo with an audible burp. It exhibits a near-insatiable hunger as it crawls from sausage to eggroll to cake pop, chowing down on each one. Soon it starts on the next cart and the next one.

"Ita-daki-masu," comes a voice from it. It sounds distracted, very deep, and filled to the absolute brim with food, like in between each low syllable its still trying to choke down a corn muffin.

It seemingly otherwise ignores them as it goes to work.

Brandy was too dumbfounded to even be afraid of whatever the hell just happened. Her jaw dropped as the goop spoke.

“Did... did that slop jus’ speak Japanese...?”

Code:
Dear Stars,

I suggest we stop asking this crystal questions. All we have received thus far are ill omens; this was clearly set up just to make us panic, which is the worst thing we can do now.

Sincerely,
Shizune Takata


Her jittery hand and fearful eyes said she didn't have a lot of faith in her own message.

Benjamin stared at the goo with complete confusion. For the first time it seemed like he was at a loss for words.

After a while of lip-smacking and chewing, the tar-like creature has eaten every last bite of food.

It sits there, just slipped all over the road and the food carts, when a low grumbling noise comes from it.

"Scraps? Is this all? This is no feast," it chokes out, between crunching noises.

"I gave you your food, your water, and yet I get this? You would not live if not for me. I need more."

Matt watched the thing eat away.
"Welp...lost any appetite I had.

"And now the basterd stole my damn shoe, Here just take the other damn show why your at it." Matt threw his show with as much force as he could at the thing.

"He is my brother."

A cold voice sounds like a smooth stone being dropped down a well.

"Oh. I meant to say that in my truth-telling voice, but I suppose he isn't technically my brother. Though we are part of a sort of family."

A man in a red and orange robe and a mask stands in the center of town.

"HE IS BEELZEBUB. HE FOUNDED RATTLEWATER THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. HE GAVE THEM A RIVER AND RICH SOIL. IN RETURN HE ASKED FOR A HARVEST FESTIVAL EVERY SUMMER WHERE HE COULD FEAST TO HIS HEART'S CONTENT. THOUGH HE HAS NO HEART, FOR HE IS A DEMON AS I AM A DEMON."

Beelzebub sits there, it's stomach growling.

"Well, has he not been fed enough?!" Ivan snapped. "He ate everything!"

“Isn’t Beelzebub s’posed to be more like a giant fly?” Brandy wondered aloud. “Anyway, that’s the first I’m hearin’ of anythin’ like that.”

She inched a little closer to the disastrous blob to get a better look at it.

“So is he gonna try eatin’ us, or somethin’? Also Ivan, he represents Gluttony, he ain’t gonna be full anytime soon.”

"I can be a giant fly if that's what you want."

They hear the sound of rocks grinding together as Belphegor tilts his head.

"Anyway, I hope you all can appreciate me more, now that you've seen what other sorts of demons could have been running your game."

"Anyway, I've told him that he can't kill anyone, but he'll probably be tempted to take a few bites. He hasn't eaten since I gave him Bennett's dried corpse. Just keep him at a distance and continue with your celebration."

Brandy flinched at the sound of Bennett’s name, but shook it off. “Buddy, I don’t think that fella could run a game even if it wanted to. Jus’ ‘cause you’re the best of two or more bad choices don’t mean you ain’t still a bad choice, Belphy.”

"What the--"

Daniel is suddenly interrupted while eating a steak. Seeing the tar thing try to eat the food, he decides to leave his own plate at the table, backing away relatively fast. He stares in horror as all the precious food is wasted by the thing, stricken by fear until after Brandy asks who that is.

"Now slow down Satan, how'm I supposed to believe whatever this is just summoned up a river and dirt outta nowhere? It can't even make its own food!"

He grunts in annoyance at the thing's manners, interrupting his dinner-lunch feast like that.

"... Have a good night everyone."

Belphegor shakes his head and walks away, into the blackness of night.

"You don't have to believe it Daniel. The truth only given for your convenience."

Beelzebub jumps up toward Daniel and falls back on the ground with the sound of thousands of elbows being firmly placed on tables.

"Give me a bite. Please. I beg you. Let me just chew on your scalp. Don't make me use force."

"No! Get away from me, thing! If I had a newspaper I'd slap you with it!" Daniel attempts to shoo the creature away, clearly sweating at the sight of it.

Oliver winced a bit at the mention of Bennett's name, and very swiftly backed away from the creature. He figured that is Bennett's corpse was eaten by it, maybe Lavender's was as well. "I have no intentions of being bitten..." he mumbled, carefully watching it, hoping that Daniel would be okay.

Beelzebub seems to cower in front of Daniel, scooting away from his fists.

"Just! One! Bite!"

It lunges. Except Beelzebub doesn't go for Daniel. It lunges at Nail, who is off in his own world enjoying the festival.

It bites down hard on his hand, drawing blood.

"Yum!."

They hear the sound of it licking its lips.

Nail's aura changed so swiftly from mild amusement to thunderous anger, you'd expect he was about to commit a murder.

"Filthy beast," he uttered coldly. "How dare you touch Me. That's going to cost you."

He shook the demon off, and checked his hand, eventually scoffing at it.

"You are lucky you did not harm Me further, otherwise I would extract the price from you and yours." He tore off a section of his robe and tied it around his hand, staunching the bleeding for the moment. "I believe that I have lost my appetite for the festivities. If you'll excuse me."

"..."

Beelzebub burps loudly and starts to slink away. Was it shaken by Nail's words? Or I'd it just full this time for real?

The black substance slips off the carts and rolls away off the ground.

Beelzebub is gone.

Eventually, everyone beds down for the night. Klifford takes Shizune and Nail back to the hospital for treatment. Everyone else goes back to camp to sleep. It's a long and anxious night, haunted by the memories of the festival.

Spoiler: The Next Day
The sound of squealing tires. Everyone in the cavern hears it. It's snaking around the buildings and through town. There's slamming on a horn. A few people look outside just in time to see the blur of the red car pass by, swerving and weaving. The engine revs with sheer power.

In a few minutes, almost everyone hears it: the heart-splitting sound of metal being wrenched apart in a horrible accident, like a shotgun going off.

Everyone who can stand makes their way over to the corner of the cavern to assess the damage done.

The group approaches the car cautiously. The front of it seems to be mangled against the rock. Chunks of metal and plastic hang off of it. The front driver’s side is completely mangled beyond recognition. A popped tire sits several feet away. They can see a huge silver smear where the car ground against the wall.

The car rests there, lifeless… silent.

Spoiler: The Wreckage
They approach the car and see a figure slumped in the passenger seat. His blonde hair is much more messy than usual and blood drips from the back of his head.

But he's alive.

Next to him, the driver's is completely folded in, rocks hanging over it, obscuring it from view.

Crumpled on the floor between the two sides is another figure. This one has cracked goggles on his head and looks uncomfortably twisted. They reach out for him and check his pulse. He seems like he's going to make it through this. Brown pieces of glass sit around him on the floor.

That's when they spot it.

They see the thing that they thought they might avoid.

A limp pale hand hangs from the driver's side chair, blood running down in and dripping onto the body on the floor.

The arm connected to the hand is covered in a thick white cloth, quickly staining red. They peak in and make out the mangled form of a blue-haired man with his face smashed against the stone.


Spoiler: ???

"Oh, Jesus Christ..." Brandy said, her face going pale. "How'd this happen...?"

"W-What in the world..?!"

Ivan scrambled towards the car, identifying the living as Benjamin and Matt.

"F-First things first, we should make sure these two are okay..." Ivan stammered. "A-And then..."

His eyes darted to Ciro.

"...Shit..."

Benjamin and Matt both regain their consciousness as the group takes in the horror of the scene. They seem both hurt, but they decide to help the others investigate. Shizune is not here, but the ten split up, each one taking a different road.

Spoiler: Investigation Teams
First Street - Benjamin, Ivan, Klifford

Second Street - Matt, Micah, Nail, Brandy

Third Street - Sebastian, Daniel, Oliver


Spoiler: Trial Resources


The groups gather back at the elevator. Belphegor is there, waiting for them, Shizune is next to him in her wheelchair, looking anxious and as bad as ever.

"Right this way, everyone. I hope you all are mentally prepared for this one. It's very... fun? I'll say it's fun."

They pack into the elevator next to Belphegor. The doors close.

...

They enter the stone altar room, the eleven of them and take their places.

Spoiler: Debt
"IF YOU SHOULD FAIL TO PINPOINT THE TAINTED IN THIS TRIBUNAL, TWO INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL DIE FROM DEADLY DISEASES. IT MIGHT BE SOMEONE YOU KNOW."


"Is that too tame? No matter. This is a very serious trial regardless. If you cannot take two lives seriously then that is a problem this group will have to solve."

"Welcome everyone to the third tribunal of your group. You know the score by now. Ciro is dead. It is up to you to find the tainted."

Everyone stays silent waiting for the first person to speak up.

"Well, personally I'm glad Ciro's dead. He was an absolute menace. You saw what he did to me. To us. That cave in was definitely a deadly attack."

The voice is cruel and hollow. It sounds like it's coming from a tin can. The group turns toward the speaker.

They see one of the masks from the festival yesterday, only this one covers the whole head. It looks like a smaller version of Belphegor, with pale green shimmering robes.

It's Micah. It has to be.

"Uh, Micah, if that's you, would you mind takin' that ridiculous thing off?" Brandy asked. "It's kinda distractin'... n' maybe you shouldn't speak ill of the dead? For all you know, Ciro might jus' come back and make you decent-at-best sushi in your nightmares."

She shook her head. "Anyway, let's get this show on the road. This ain't gonna be fun..."
